GUITAR TABLATURE:
This is the tablature for DEBRA JEAN from the album LOVE SONGS FOR
THE RETARDED written by THE QUEERS.
This was song was figured out by MAX OBEIDIN (and a little bit by
RYAN JERNIGAN)
E-Mail: obeidi19@mail.airmail.net
This song is played in standard tuning (E,A,D,G,B,E).
Lyrics and Music by THE QUEERS.
(Taken from the lyrics in the album.)
Notes:
I recommend playing the song with downstrokes.
I have also written two ways to play the solo.
They both have the same notes, but the second one is
probably easier. (I prefer playing it the first way, even though
I figured outhow to play it both ways.)
By the way, this is my first tab.
Here Are The Chords That You'll Need:
E = --------- G = --------- C = ---------
--------- --------- ---------
--------- --------- ----5----
----2---- ----5---- ----5----
----2---- ----5---- ----3----
----0---- ----3---- ---------
D = --------- D = ---------
--------- ----3----
----7---- or ----2----
----7---- ----0----
----5---- ---------
--------- ---------
Play the D chord whichever way is the easiest.
(I use the first one.)
Each Chord Is Played Several Times
(It's Best To Practice Along With The Album).
First Verse:
G E
One thing I know is true - I need a little girl like you
G
So I can stop hanging around
E C
So I can stop making that downtown trip, you know
C
It's starting to get old
D
If you know what I mean
G
You can scream and shout and it'll be fine
E
Keep me in bed all day and blow my mind
G
You can hold me tight and rattle my brain
E
You can kiss me and drive me insane
E C
Give me funny little shivers up and down my spine
D
When we kiss each and every time
C
What I'm thinking and doing never seem to work out
G
They're always two different things you know
C D
Open up your eyes and see that you're the only girl for me
Chorus: (2x)
G
(Oh) Debra Jean baby you're my queen
E
And queens don't seem to speak
C
To guys like me (Ooh me)
D
I was meant for meant for you and you were meant for me
Solo: (See the bottom of this tab sheet.)
Second Verse:
G E
One thing I know is true - I need a little girl like you
G
Someone to stay with me and stick by my side
E
And someone I can call my little butterfly
E C
Give me funny little shivers up and down my spine
D
When we kiss each and every time
C
What I'm thinking and doing never seem to work out
G
They're always to different things you know
C D
Open up your eyes and see that you're the only girl for me
Chorus: (Again) (ad nauseum)
(The chorus repeats as the song fades out.)
The Solo: (The way I usually play it.)

There. That was my first tab. If it doesn't sound right,
then your guitar probably isn't tuned.
HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
